more ram has caused worst benchmark results why?

[packersfan036]

I added 16gb of ddr4 corsair vengeance rgb 3000mhz ram to the 16gb I already had. now when I ran the same benchmarks with more ram the scores are a little lower than when I had less ram. does anyone know why?

a) Did you verify that your memory is still running at the same frequency/timings it was prior to installing the extra 16GB?
b) Depending on what benchmark you're running and how much "a little lower" is, it could be within the margin of error for that test, meaning the two results are essentially the same. Which could make sense given that going beyond 16GB of RAM is useless in the majority of cases.

the ram is set to 3000 MHz via xmp profile. no changes just added ram. and the benchmark difference was just a couple of points lower.

If it's just a couple of points I would say that's insignificant and just due to random variation. The two results can be treated as being equal.
